The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[lynchbhoy]

my continued lack of confidence for wgs has damn all to do with who 'his' team are more to do with the fact that he is unbelievably inept, and dont ask my reasons for saying this just look back through the thread!

tactically and man management wise
I agree !
...plus coaching, marking from set pieces etc...

What marking, this zonal marking is crap, go out find a man and stick to him if he takes a p*** you go with him.....

drives me nuts

In his favour GS's teams can now take corners that get into the fecking box, that used to frustrate the life out of me in MON's teams. McGeady and petrov being the chief culprits.

Being good to GS today, but maybe his 'zonal' system is a nod to the fact that his team are quite small and lacking height.
Therefore thees no point in man marking (though to me thats still no excuse).
Allowing movement and men making runs in the box is crazy hari kiri tactics.

GS signed most of the 'dwarfs' too.

O for a Mjallby, Sutton, Thommo, BBJ

Very good and uncannyily like the real thing! 


This is a cracker as well, 2 1/2 mins but well worth it, needs volume but be careful.

While I want the luck to continue, I am also hoping that the ineptitude will also 'run out'.

the players are capable of way more than they are currently achieving.
I honestly think that gs is holding them back through bad coaching and a very bad dressing room vibe.

Great to see Naylor supplying the crosses for both goals,
but how often does that happen !

Glad to hear it, hope he does well as he def has the talent, just doubts over fitness and application.

very true, i was hopeful the move to celtic would motivate him.
Anyone who watches the reserves know if he is upping the fitness? Has he been lasting full games?

Was he not fit enough to last a LOI game?

Has a reputation for not being a 90 minute man, like most Derrymen he has touble lasting the pace

Scottish Cup sixth round draw:
Motherwell or St Mirren v Celtic
Airdrie Utd or Dunfermline Athletic v Aberdeen or East Fife
Inverness CT v Falkirk
Forfar Athletic or Rangers v Hamilton Accies


What are the odds that Celtic and Rangers (should they proceed) are kept apart again (and again and again) in the semi final draw?

Bloody tough draw for The Celts (considering whose left!) away from home as well.

Disappointed to hear about the McGeady - Borac bust up in training, need the team all pulling in hte same direction just before a match against the Forces of Darkness! At least Strachan managed to deal with it properly this time!

Rumours emanating from several celtic fans forums today is that a story will break in the weekends press that Artur Boruc has been involved in match fixing/ gambling for the Polish Mafia.

Just in time for Sundays old firm game of course!

theres always a few sblime stories about Celtic players and their private lives in the week before a game v the huns.

Obv targetting Boruc on two fronts - problems with team mates and now gambling /match fixing.

McGeady also had to be targeted also.
I'm sure there will be more in the next couple of days!

[Main Street]

Isn't that a bit of a mismatch? baby faced, pint sized McGeady versus The Giant Boruc, with hands wider than a frying pan.

It's a bit like that rugby player, Stringer, when he decides to have a go at some 2m tall forward.
